The Baldwin DRS-4-4-1000 was a diesel-electric road switcher produced by Baldwin Locomotive Works from July 1948 to March 1950. It had a 1,000 horsepower six-cylinder prime mover and a B-B wheel arrangement on two two-axle road trucks, all axles powered, with a cast steel frame, and it normally ran long hood forward. Only nine were built for American railroads. Another 13 were made in December 1948 and early 1949 by the Canadian Locomotive Company for the Esquimalt and Nanaimo Railway, the first railroad in Canada to dieselize its locomotive fleet. Canadian Pacific number 8000 is preserved at the Railway Museum of British Columbia in Squamish.
